About the Book

Book Synopsis

Neepin Auger's colorful books for young children have collectively sold well over 20,000 copies since they first appeared on the market. With more and more parents and educators looking for genuine Indigenous resources, Discovering Words will bring the experience of learning French and Cree to even the youngest of readers.

The Cree language, also known as Cree-Montagnais-Naskapi, is spoken across vast regions of Canada, from the Rocky Mountains in the west to Labrador in the east, and in northern Montana in the United States. One important variety, Plains Cree, also called the y-dialect, is spoken in much of Alberta, central Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and northern Montana. As one of the most widely spoken Indigenous languages in Canada, Cree was reportedly spoken by 86,475 people in the 2021 census.

In addition to the English words presented, the French and Cree equivalents are also given, along with pronunciation support, making these some of the most dynamic and useful books on the market.
